Lying to smear a role model is uncivil, as is whataboutism.

Not that it's going to stop you from spreading disinformation to suit your agenda, but just to set the record straight:

Contrary to the rampant online rumors, Greta Thunberg’s net worth is estimated to be $100,000 as of 2025. Unlike many public figures, Thunberg does not profit from her activism. She has made it clear multiple times that any earnings from her book sales or speeches go directly to charity.

One particularly popular yet unfounded rumor is that she is set to inherit $10 million from her parents, opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg. However, Swedish income tax records—which are publicly available—show that her parents are not millionaires. While they may be considered comfortably upper-middle class, their wealth has been grossly exaggerated by misinformation campaigns.

Cool, there are dozens of other sources confirming the "rumour" that she comes from wealth. I'm not sure "chemical city paper" is the source of truth you think it is lol.

Who tf cares if she was born to a wealthy family? Do you advocate for all billionaire children to be shot and killed? All billionaire fetuses to be aborted? Rich people themselves to be spayed and neutered? If so, that's a whole different and insane conversation.

This girl has worked hard, tirelessly, through death threats and literal bombs, against fucking genocidal huge countries, for what she believes. Why in the everloving fuck should it matter if she comes from wealth? Every one of your comments here shows that pieces of shit are not defined by income level.
